Vulnerability in Graphics Rendering Engine Could Allow Remote Code Execution (912919)

Severity: Critical
Vulnerabilities:
  • Graphics Rendering Engine Vulnerability - CVE-2005-4560
    A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the Graphics Rendering Engine because of the way that it handles Windows Metafile (WMF) images. An attacker could exploit the vulnerability by constructing a specially crafted Windows Metafile (WMF) image that could potentially allow remote code execution if a user visited a malicious Web site or viewed a malicious e-mail message. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could take complete control of an affected system. However, significant user interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability.

    A remote code execution vulnerability exists in Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft Exchange Server because of the way that it decodes the Transport Neutral Encapsulation Format (TNEF) MIME attachment. An attacker could exploit the vulnerability by constructing a specially crafted TNEF message that could potentially allow remote code execution when a user opens or previews a malicious e-mail message or when the Microsoft Exchange Server Information Store processes the specially crafted message. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could take complete control of an affected system.
